Yes, for sure.
I do have one particular case. A friend of mine has been on cannabis for a while. He said that it's okay to talk to you guys about his case. He was a member of the Royal Canadian Navy. They hit some heavy seas. He ended up falling down a ladder and massively injuring his back, resulting in a medical release. Since then, he's been diagnosed with depression as well as degenerative disc disease, and he's going to be going down for a little while.
That individual was on every type of opiate I could possibly think of. He was unable to walk and unable to function. There were massive implications for his digestive system and cognitive abilities. He also went over to fentanyl patches and the like. He was prescribed, I believe, three grams a day to start. He ended up going to approximately six, almost exclusively on CBD, cannabidiol, a completely non-psychoactive variant of cannabis.
In 2016, we did see a reduction in initial coverage from 10 grams a day to three, and he had some issues getting specialist appointments lined up in time in order to facilitate that changeover. That patient did go back down to three grams per day and also as a result had to increase his pharmaceutical intake, so it was back to opiates and fentanyl as well.
